THE SILVER TRADE

The New York plan to render that
city the leading silver market of the
world concerns Montana considera-
bly,. 1t is intended to introduce sill
9 certificates which shall guarantee
the delivery Of certain quantities of
that medal. These certificates are to
be used in business transactions in
order to avoid the expense and trou-
BILE Of handling the metal itself.
They r evidently intended to en-
courage speculation in silver and
thus stimulate dealings therein in
excess Of the ordinary demand.
Much more than this will be need
ed to make New York the arbiter of
the price of silver. As the city has
close relations with London the two
markets might be made to CORES

the demand is greater there. In the
East Indies, Mexico, South and Cen

accordingly governed by the price in
that market. They will not accept the

THE LOT

In Denver, Horace Greeley founc
the hotel uncomfortable and was ad.
vlsed to Jump a vacant cabin, which
he did. Jumping is of very old date.
Columbus in a quiet way jumped CON
siderable land in the West Indies.
Cortez, in a more forcible manner,
tried jumping with success in the
splendid capital of the Aztecs. The
early settlers jumped large areas of
of Indian lands in New England
and elsewhere. In Europe, Russia
has become a great power by en-
croaehment, and England has stirred
up an irrepressible conflict in Ireland
by jumping the land years ago. So
the Helena lot jumpers have some
good presidents. But statehood
would soon enable Montana to put an
end to such pranks.

MONT4N1'S MERITS.

Our esteemed contemporary, th,
New York Sun, prints in it's week.,
edition the following:
"Please inform me as to the advantage
OF going to Montana. Is there any goot
farming land in the territory? Would yot
advise a man with small means to gt
there? CONSTANT READER
Elk River, MINI.
The Sun replies as follows:
"The advantages of living in Montans
probably don't begin to compare with those
of living in Elk River. There are govern.
ment land agents in Bozeman, Helena and
Miles city; apply to them for information
as to lane open to presumption. There is
not much farming land in the territory; its
name means mountains" Unless YOU are
a single man, with a stout heart, and ready
to work, and work hard, our ADVICE is 10
stay where you are, unless you are so bad
~ Oft that no change can be for the worse:
In hat case, go ahead, and may good luck
go with you"
Ibis advice is well-meant, but it
reflects the common opinion entertain
ed of Montana in the Far East. The
advantages of going to Montana"
we would say, are that this is a young,
productive territory, where abundance
of land is open for settlement under
the several rights. Here the Constant

tlllage, with the advantage that the
h%ourishing mining industry will pro-
vide him with a home market and
prices for his products. The

A TRIBUTE TO GARFIELD

President Cleveland made 8 yerv
appropriate, non-part1san address at
the dedication of the Garfield monu-

Garfield when he spoke of him ''as a

and services combined all these things
and more, which challenge admiration
IN American character, loving tender
ness IN domestic relations, bravery on
the field of battle, fame and distinc-

OF the nation" The president then
referred to the opportunities for. adj
vancement which American citizens
enjoy. "The stately efigy," he said,

pendent alone for It's growth and de-

EXPLODED

The Butte Inter Mountain sits
down on the boomers who have
started the report that great copper
smelling works are to be started at
Duluth. It says:
Now, in the first place, no new electric
process has been discovered, though the
reference may be to the electrolytic pro.
cess, which is not new. Secondly, the n
tire product Of the Montana mines will
not be shipped to Duluth, for such a
scheme would cause a dead loss of mil
lions of dollars represented in the cal
ching and smelling furnaces now In
operation in this territory. Thirdly, the
promised completion of the works by
next October is an absolute impossibility.
F%ourthly, If the product after the first
year is to amount to 100 tons of plate
copper daily, or 36,500 tons per wear.
the gross value of the entire product will
not exceed 100000. How the company
is to do a $15,000,00OO business on q gross
output OF but 81, 900 is a mathematical
problem which not even a professional
boomer can solve. Filthy, while the
present cut-throat rivalries exist between
the eastern and western copper producers,

idea OF cooperation is absurd. SixthIy.
while law and order prevail, while capital

THE WOOL INDUSTRY.

4 We print to-day much infor nation
regarding wool markets in general.
1t will be seer that prices are firm
and are likely to continue SO. The
general revival of trade and the rapid
growth of the country will increase
the demand for wooden goods and
thus enhance the value of the raw
material.
This improvement in prices will be
accompanied with greater energy and
unity on the part of wool-producers.
In addition to the large st. Louis
convention, there are many signs that
the woo1-growers are determined to
place their own interests, as a class,
above party considerations. They
may be Republicans or Democrats,
Mugwumps or Prohibit1onists, but
they will support the candidate who
is sound and reliable on the wool
question in preference to any other.
In Utah recently the wool-growers
formed an association whose aims are
as follows:
To cut off the enormous profits of
middle-men by selling wool directly |
to manufacturers. To promote the
Development of the sheep industry
generally, and by united action thwart
the dangers threatening the same,
whether by contagious diseases, iniu-
dicious breeding, Or the enactment of.
inimical laws.
10 import and real the best bucks,
and improve the grade of wool.
To consider the best methods of
preventing and curing scab and in
fictitious diseases generally, and also
to furnish wool-growers, at the lowest
prices, necessary materials,
such as sacks, Irvine, sheep dip,
etc.
10 secure just and equitable rates
Of transportation to eastern markets.
Finally, when the association shall
have arnassed sufficient capital, to es-
tabllsh factories and consume their
products at home.
These objects merit attention in /.
Montana as well as elsewhere. Thew
'mbody the main purpose of all WOOL ,
growers, which is to acquire a fair :
'rice for their product. In Montana

WALTER III. ODwYER, EDITOR.
GREATLY NEEDED.

The time has come when a Board
OF Trade would render much service
to Great Falls. Corporate bodies OF
that kind, with proper committees.
command more attention from the
public than merchants in their in
dividual capacity. Their statements
regarding the growth of cities are
welcomed by the commercial press
throughout the country, and receive
careful consideration from investors
and manufacturers. In fact no live
city is now fully organized without a
Board Of Trade to speak for it in a
public capacity; to cultivate friendly
relations with commercial bodies else.
where, and to gather information for
the general good Of the merchants,
which they would find it expensive to
do Individually.
There is a wide field here for such
aboard, and now is the time to organ
aze it before the approach of the Mani
toba trunk line makes everyone busy
with other matters. It could be of
service to the railroads and to the
Tovnsite company, by the attention
which it would give to the CONNER
eial and industrial interests of the
city.
The proposed board could do all
that has been indicated, and consider
ably 10 without much expense.
The mombers would join it for the
public good, and for the present, at
least, there would be no salaried DO
sitions.
Our bankers, merchants and prop
erty owners r well qualifedt to carry
this proposal into effect and render
the Great Falls Board Of Trade one
OF the ablest and most influential in
the Union. Public sentiment is
strongly in favor of the project. Let
go ahead.

JUST AS SEQ as the Turtle Noun

settlement, the Manitoba road an
nounced that an excursion train woul6
leave st. Paul for Minot on May d.
Ticket are sold at the low rate of Sis
for the round trip, and will be good
for twenty days. The Minot Tribune
| observes:
This excursion evidently means some
thing; 1t is apparent that 1t Is the purpose
OF the Manitoba road to use its influence
to secure the d~evelopmea ut Of this country
this season. In view of the fact that there
Is but little land beyond the boundary Of
this county on the west that can be taken
by settlers owing to Indian reservations.
It stands to reason that the land about
Minot will be taken rapidly.
Thus does the Manitoba road pro
mote the rapid settlement of the re-
glons through which it passes in Da-
kota. It can render like service in
Montana.

THERE IS another dispatch which we
shall look for about August 90.
ST. PAUL, Aug. as.-CoL. E. v. smallev.
editor of the Northwest Magassne, has left
